I suggested copying the line from /etc/mtab, and the first field of this file device. /dev/sda3 /media/OS fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions 0 0 I think you are right to use "UUID" and "ntfs" in place of /dev/sda3 and fuseblk respectively, you probably want to make a mount point for it somewhere other that /media/OS as well. > Now I can't start my Ub 11.04 and, even though I log in sudo su during > recovery mode, I can't open the fstab file and delete this new mount > addition, as I do not have write permission.

Probably the filesystem is mounted read only. # mount -w -o remount / Assuming "/" is the mount point, should change this if it is the case (use "mount" without any options to check first).
